Factors Affecting the Growth of the Insect Growth Regulators Industry:

• Environmental Concerns and Regulatory Policies:

Growing environmental concerns and strict regulatory policies aimed at reducing the use of conventional chemical pesticides are positively influencing the market. Insect growth regulators (IGRs) are being preferred as compared to conventional pesticides due to their being more targeted and less toxic to non-target species, including humans. This shift is a result of the growing awareness about the adverse effects of chemical pesticides on the environment, which cause ecosystem imbalances and health hazards. Regulatory bodies around the world are imposing strict regulations on the use of pesticides, encouraging the adoption of eco-friendly alternatives. IGRs, which inhibit the growth and reproduction of pests without harming other organisms, are well aligned with these regulatory policies and environmental sustainability goals.

• Advancements in Agricultural Practices:

The adoption of modern and sustainable agricultural practices is driving the market growth. With the rise in the global population, there is a tremendous need to enhance agricultural productivity while minimising environmental impact. IGRs that provide sustainable solutions for pest management are becoming an integral part of integrated pest management (IPM) programmes. These substances work by disrupting the life cycle of pests, thereby controlling them without affecting crop yield. As farmers and agronomists are looking for innovative, effective and environmentally friendly ways to increase crop production and prevent pests, the demand for IGRs is increasing.

• Rising Demand for Organic Products:

Preferences for organic and naturally produced foods driven by concerns over food safety and the health implications of consuming products treated with synthetic chemicals are supporting the market growth. This shift is driving the demand for pest management solutions that are in line with organic farming standards, where IGRs play a vital role. Unlike conventional pesticides, IGRs are considered more compatible with organic agriculture due to their specific mode of action and low toxicity profile.
